<p>
<i> &gt;The Scanmaker E3 seemed to be a good inexpensive choice, but a</i><br>
<p>
<i> &gt;SCSI models. So I wound up ordering an E3+ from PC Connection.</i><br>
<p>
<i> &gt;Interestingly enough, the E3+ might be a little bit different</i><br>
<i> &gt;than the original E3. It shuts its light off after about 10</i><br>
<i> &gt;or 15 minutes of idle time (I seem to recall someone kvetching</i><br>
<i> &gt;about the E3 not doing that). And it apparently supports SCSI-2 -</i><br>
<i> &gt;I commented out everything but "microtek" and "microtek2" in</i><br>
<i> &gt;dll.conf, and it came up using "microtek2" much to my surprise.</i><br>
<i> &gt;I'm going to try commenting out "microtek2" to see if it will</i><br>
<i> &gt;use "microtek" instead, since "microtek2" is allegedly still</i><br>
<i> &gt;alpha.</i><br>
<p>
The E3+, name aside, is quite different from the original E3, and uses<br>
the 'new' command set --- hence Bernd's microtek2 driver. I bet in Europe<br>
it's marketed as the "330" or some variation.<br>
<p>
What an industry -- both scanners and all consumer computer equipment<br>
in general. The name don't mean nothing. (Another classic: The Agfa<br>
"Arcus II" has Microtek guts; the "Arcus" is anybody's guess.)<br>
